This one’s definitely on my wish list. It’s a fully functional PC running under a choice of Linux or Windows CE.
OK, weighing in at 7 ounces (200g), you’d need a forearm like Arnold Schwarzenegger to pass it off as a watch. On me it would look like I was taking part in some government programme for tagging offenders; but I wouldn’t mind the stares.
I class myself as a technical sort of person (though some may argue with that) yet whenever I’m designing software or websites I always resort to pen and paper. This does mean I have A3 pads and flip charts all over the place and finding my original designs can be a real pain. Today I came across the Adesso CyberPad which seems to offer both the benefit of paper and digital storage at the same time.
If there was a league table of truly pointless gadgets this would be somewhere near the top, probably just below the ice oven. As we know most software has the odd bug (even Microsoft testers aren’t perfect :)) well now you can pretend to fix them with the computer Bug Zapper.
The computer bug zapper, hangs from a hook and looks a bit like a normal bug (as in flying) extermination system, with it’s glowing yellow core of insect death. However the yellow light is just for show though it does make ZZZzzap sounds whenever a software bug is detected and destroyed.
I so nearly believed that this was the long awaited silver bullet of software development until I found that it runs on batteries and not USB! How low tech is that! I might try to get one of these on expenses from Think Geek, it’s probably more successful than 99% of the promised silver bullet books I’ve read :D.
This is an interesting idea, your own little secret drawer inside your laptop. The Stash Card slots into any unused PC card slot and can be used for storing secret stuff like cash, memory cards, little black books etc.
Must admit hiding valuable items inside a laptop may not be the smartest of ideas as I’m sure luxury laptops come fairly high on the list of desirables to nick, but it’s a cool idea none the less. You get more info (not a lot mind you) and buy online at Stash Card.
This has got to be the ultimate wifi gadget that I have ever seen, the Nabaztag Wi-Fi rabbit. You may be wondering why exactly does a rabbit need WiFi, well to communicate with the rest of the world of course.

I’ve just received a press release about a new sort of mouse that you just have to tilt to control rather than moving it around the desk. It’s an interesting concept and could be especially useful for laptops where you don’t always have the physical space to use a conventional mouse. Press release follows:

CeBIT is all for innovations and the likes of it, that’s why Samsung is presenting their first laptop with flash memory instead of the usual hard disks. Last year they had a prototype with 16GB of memory only, which it isn’t a lot but for that time it was already good.
Now they have doubled the prototype capacity and are showing a flash-based-disk with 32GB of memory capacity, at the same size of a 1.8inch hard-disk.
After all the hype before the official launch of the new Microsoft Origami hand-held, the debut of the gadget itself has been something of an anti-climax.
Having compared the functionality of the device with what’s been promised over the previous months; we have to say we’re distinctly unimpressed.
